New York, July 16.-Julius Eisman,
his wife and two children, one aged two
years and the other ten months, arrived
here from Arabia two months ago. They
brought with them trunk filled with re-
llgious relics. Husband and wife went
ont peddling, each taking with them a
child. The mother took the young
er, and the man the two-year-old-
child. Walking around in the hot sun all
day made the children i'll. Instead of
taking the children to the hospital, the
parents continued taxing the children with

Another Good Man Gone Wrong.

Higginsville, Mo-, July 2l-Special-
Odessa, Lafayette county, this state, is
having lively and exciting time over the
discovery that Elder ]. j. Henry, pastor of
the Christian church of that place, was not
altogether good shepherd. He has had
pastoral charge of that congregation for
two years and from all appearances was
general favorite among his people.
He seems 10 have made use of this
feeling toward him, as matters are coming
to light. Among his congregation was
Miss Mollie Mediation, daughter of J..
Harvey Mediation, and she was a special
friend of Elder Henry. who was educating
her for missionary work. He quoted
or rather misquoted scripture to her and
convinced her she was doing no
wrong to submit to him. And thus
he accomplished her ruin. ALI these
facts came to light through what was
believed to be the apti-mortem statement
of Miss Mediation, for on July 9Th she
was believed to be dying from an abor-
ton
This statement was suppressed, but the
facts leaked out and the good people of
Odessa did not intend to "stone the wo-
man and let the man 90 free" On Sun
day mob of about fifty men gather
ed around his house threatening to
mob him, but were without leader and
unorganlzed. Yesterday the church held
meeting at o'clock to give Henry a
hearing. but at o'clock their worthy pas
tor disappeared and has not been heard
from since. Miss Mediation is recover
ing
